Fulham blogger Richard Allen from
Craven Cottage Newsround gives Metro Sport his view on the season so far and discusses his hopes for the January transfer window – PLUS we bring you the biggest news, rumours and speculation of the month.

Confusing: Martin Jol (Picture: Action Images)How would you rate your season so far?

It started terribly when the club unveiled a new kit featuring white shorts, and hasn’t got going since. On the pitch I think I can see Martin Jol’s vision of attractive, flowing football in a 4-3-3, but it has been hard to work out what we’re trying to do out there.

Some of the players seem to feel the same, too, which hasn’t helped. Best bit: beating QPR 6-0. Worst: going out of Europe despite an easy group.

Grade: CWhich areas of the team need strengthening in January, and do you think it will happen?

It all depends on who leaves, but probably a forward or two, and a centre midfielder. We could lose both Bobby Zamora and Andy Johnson, so clearly someone will be needed to fill this gap. We’ll also need to replace Danny Murphy one day, although we’ve been saying this for a while and he’s still going. Will it happen? Probably not, but we have a decent squad anyway.
